97 "Anna's Wish Fulfillment Service" Aug 22, 2009 Firemyst, Paws, Sabin1001
Gamescom and Blizzcon mean a ton of news for you. We've also got several people bargaining for Anna's time. And of course no week would be complete without a Fallout 3 story. Discuss
96 "Pokémon Karaoke Hour" Aug 8, 2009 Firemyst, Manny, Paws, Sabin1001
To be honest, I don't even know what we talked about on this show. There was something regarding catgirls, some video games, and a giant arcade-card-action game mecha from Japan. Discuss
95 "Getting Too Old for This Shtick" Aug 1, 2009 Firemyst, Manny, Tom Goldman, Sabin1001, SeventhCircle

94 "Rolling 20s and Drinking 40s" July 25, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Manny, Paws, Sabin1001
We rag on PSX games, talk about good parts of bad games, and ease on down the RIZ-ZOAWD. Bah why am I wasting time writing this blurb when I could be posting the already late show for you all? Discuss
93 "Was Bahamut There?" July 18, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Manny, Paws, Sabin1001
Manny gives us the skinny on all the great stuff RPGamer got to see at Run to the Sun this year. Who has the best food?

88 "Mickey Batwood" June 13, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Paws, Risingsuntzu, Sabin1001, Vortex566
Busy panel today with both Lee and Manny making guest appearances. They help make a slow news week go by a little quicker, though they don't make Chris's impressions any better. Help us out next week by submitting your Random Encounters questions to the message board thread. Discuss
87 "The Post-E3 Podcast Sensational" June 6, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Noodle, Paws, Sabin1001

Victor and newcomer Sarah come along for the ride and try to sell the audience on how awesome Final Fantasy XIV and Dragon Age will be, respectively. If you haven't yet, go watch Mikel's Kung Fu Fighting video on our E3 page. Discuss
86 "The Pre-E3 Stereotype Spectacular" May 30, 2009 Kiro, Paws, Risingsuntzu, Sabin1001, SeventhCircle
Manny and Glenn join us this week as we seek to insult every racial group on the planet. In a less inflamatory segement, we have big news about Half-Minute Hero, Fragile, and the PSP Go. Then we get back to angering fanboys by making our E3 predictions and speculations. Discuss

83 "Incestuous RPG Elements" May 9, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Paws, Sabin1001
We've got word of the new Nippon Ichi-Gust crossover game. Bioware also surprises nobody and announces troopers for its Star Wars MMO. And speaking of unsurprising, Bethesda releases another Fallout 3 add-on that doesn't work right. Discuss
82 "The Moogle Flu" May 2, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Paws, Sabin1001
Motorcyles in Fallout, plants with zombies, mysterious game images, and a show title that isn't from the episode should give you an idea of the lack of theme we have this week. Just check it out and see if you can figure out why Arcanum stole our webpage design. Discuss

Mikel marks the most significant progress he has ever made in an RPG. Meanwhile, Hellgate London is back in the news. I'm voting for the cat swords as the more profitable venture. Discuss
78 "The Pitt of Despair" April 4, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Paws, Sabin1001
What RPGs did you get stuck in when playing? What didn't Anna play this week? Why is horse armor now the best deal ever on Xbox Live? Will The Pitt ever work? Where is this week's news? The answers to these questions and more on this week's RPGCast! Discuss
77 "Let's Brush Our Pikachus Together" March 28, 2009 Firemyst, Kiro, Paws, Sabin1001

Puzzle Quest Galactrix came out this week and we've got our in-depth impressions about it. Find out if it's worth picking up and then listen to the normal news round-up. FFXIII demo, FFIV The After Years, and Avalon Code news should keep you busy between leapgate hacking. Discuss

This week we've got tons of impressions, your worst boss battle moments, and Macstorm changing his shirt. Please suggest some new discussion topics in the forum thread. Discuss

70 "Trainwreck" February 7, 2009 Firemyst, Sabin1001, Unpetitmax
Atlus has a deluge of news and announcements to drive our excitement way up. But then Bethesda, Blizzard, EA, Sega, and Square Enix put on the brakes to our good mood with a series of delays and cancelled plans. Oh well, at least we have Max's accent to pull us through. Discuss
69 "Biggest Letdown of the Year" January 31, 2009 Firemyst, Nyx, Paws, Sabin1001
Sam Marchello makes her podcast debut and regales us with tales of fantasy farming and fantastical accent worship.

68 "MikelGamer" January 24, 2009 Firemyst, Paws, Sabin1001, Unpetitmax
The francophones invade this week when Maxime and Anna Marie take over the podcast to talk about croissants. Chris responds by butchering their language as much as possible. A new RPG you can play in 30 seconds, FFXIII demo dates, and, best of all, more Megaman Starforce games are the top news items this week. Discuss
67 "We Should All Read Books" January 17, 2009 Firemyst, Green_Nu, Sabin1001
Mikel, Tom, and Chris sit around and talk about Prinny dessert sets, pouting princesses, and royal Koopa intestines. That's right, it's a distinguished beginning for our live streamed podcasts. Discuss
66 "You Should Get a Headset" January 10, 2009 Firemyst, Paws, Sabin1001
Just The Three Amigos today to give you what little news there is in the world of gaming and RPGs. A CES photo-rundown, Dragon Quest IX speculation, and a Final Fantasy XIII website are pretty much all we've got. Please, February, come and rescue us from this dearth of news. Discuss
65 "Get!!" January 3, 2009 Firemyst, Green_Nu, Paws, Sabin1001

64 "Marzipan Flavored Soap" December 27, 2008 Firemyst, Paws, Sabin1001, Vortex566
On this week's show, Lee exposes his flavored soap fetish. Unfortunately, candy flavor won't help sweeten the feelings of our listeners who found out that Lee really liked Chrono Trigger. After the news and an epic feedback section, the cast shares their best and worst games of the year. Discuss
63 "Codec Calling" December 20, 2008 Firemyst, Macstorm, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001, Vortex566
Michael Cunningham joins us this week to make sure we actually have accurate information. Solid Snake may have also dropped by a few times, but it's so hard to tell with the Octo-Camo. Jump Festa news, FFXIII details, and an Epic Recently Played section round out the show. Discuss
62 "bored.rpgamer.com" December 13, 2008 Firemyst, Paws, Sabin1001
Hopefully you won't be bored listening to Anna's impressions of Persona 4. If that doesn't do it we have a discussion about the validity of MMO talk on the podcast. Other than that though, all we have is a bunch of news about some series called "Dragon Quest," if you care for that sort of thing. Discuss
61 "Meat and Pie" December 7, 2008 Firemyst, Paws, Sabin1001, Vortex566
Sorry for the tardiness this week! It shan't happen again. Accept my apologies by finding out who won the World of Warcraft contest, my early impressions of Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online, and where Paws is working. Discuss

Do you want a free copy of Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition? Find out how to win one by listening to this week's episode. We also get disappointed by The Last Remnant, impressed by Valkyria Chronicles, and befuddled by PAL and HDTV. Discuss
59 "Lee Is British" November 15, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001, Vortex566
Ethan reveals himself as a true Britaku on this week's programme. This week's show really is the bee's knees as long time listener turned staffer Lee Gordon joins the panel. Highlights include Lee giving a dramatic reading and the Magic 8-Ball predicting whether Chris will finish his Valkyria Chronicles review. Also, Lee has an accent. Discuss
58 "I Want To Quit" November 8, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001
So, there was plenty of news this week, but most of it put Oliver to sleep and made Mikel want to quit. Not really sure why as we have plenty of good stuff like Valkyria Chronicles' DLC, three Shin Megami Tensei games, and some FFVI love for Dissidia. Plus, the great beer debate of Seattle vs. Wisconsin continues. Discuss
57 "My Tank Is a Tank" November 1, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001
Now that Shawn's gone we can actually talk about Fable 2 freely without fear of getting fired. We've got impressions of that and Fallout 3 just for you. Then to wrap it all up, we've got what's either one of the most enterprising or depressing uses of an emulator ever. In my opinion, it should have said, "You're engaged! But you're still lonely." Discuss
56 "A Mouthful Of Candies" October 25, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001
Did you know Canada won't allow Ethan to drink Mountain Dew Code Red? It's true. Other things that are true include zombie plagues in World of Warcraft, bugs in Fable II, and upgraded Vista Solitaire graphics. Discuss
55 "A Tremulo'd Toodle-oo" October 18, 2008 Firemyst, Lusipurr, Metaridley, Sabin1001
This week we say goodbye to Shawn "Lusipurr" Cooper as he leaves the podcast and the site to pursue his education. Our listeners have lots of good things to say about Shawn, Paul Koehler has lots of good things to say about TGS, and Shawn has lots of good things to say about Mother 3. We'll miss you, Shawn! Discuss
54 "My DS Smells Like Bacon" October 11, 2008 Firemyst, Lusipurr, Metaridley, Sabin1001
TGS is over and we take a look at the big announcements and game demos. Star Ocean, White Knight Chronicles, and The Last Remnant all caught our attention. Fable 2 would have none of it, however, and attempted to recapture our hearts as it responded to last week's criticisms. Pata Pata Poooon! Discuss
53 "Disappointment Out Of Five" October 4, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Lusipurr, Sabin1001
Get ready to hear the most heated argument over Dragon Quest IV's story that you'll find on the internet.

Discuss

We explore when Winter 2008 actually starts in order to try to determine when we'll get to play A Witch's Tale.

51 "The Open Source Podcast" September 20, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Lusipurr, Omegabyte, Sabin1001
Kingdom Hearts gets a new keychain, Suikoden DS gets details, and White Knight Story gets a release date. The panel, however, gets a ton of feedback from listeners in the first segment. See? We do care! Discuss
50 "Stop That Train, I Wanna Egg McMuffin" September 13, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Lusipurr, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001
Our 50th episode is an extravaganza filled with 80s rap stars ordering breakfast from McDonalds in alternate timelines. A new Phantasy Star game, an enhanced version of The Witcher, and a new MegaTen game aren't enough to calm this craziness. Ethan even pops in to share his thoughts on the upcoming Dragon Quest IV for DS. There ain't no stopping this train, 50 more episodes to come. Discuss
49 "Alas, Poor Leo! I Knew Him, Setzer" September 6, 2008 Firemyst, Lusipurr, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001
But soft, what Magitek through yonder airship breaks? It's our first show after PAX, and we leave no game unturned. From Final Fantasy to Kingdom Hearts to Prinnies, no series escapes unscathed from our critical cynicism. Also, hear some of the stories of who we met at PAX. Discuss
s01 "Lusipurr and Metaridley's Entirely Unscripted Video Game Podcast Extravaganza!" September 1, 2008 Lusipurr, Metaridley
Umbrellas. Tea cozies. Lint. Plywood sheeting. Landscapes. These are some of the most boring things in existence, but they cannot compare with the sheer boredom present in this supplemental RPGCast.

Proceed with caution. Discuss
48 "Marty!" August 25, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Lusipurr, Paws, Sabin1001
We had to wait a couple days to record due to some scheduling issues and it has our clocks all screwed up. Before we get into the Delorian hear us talk about Suikoden DS, Ys on Wii, Vesperia DLC, and an FFXI item you can buy with real money. It's your kids, Marty! They're at PAX! Discuss
47 "Login To The Lost Woods" August 16, 2008 Ethos, Firemyst, Paws, Sabin1001
